Slingshot Observations

People have complimented my writing, and for that I am eternally grateful, but a long-time friend of mine described my writing as accurately as anyone ever has – she said that I have a gift for defining the obvious when everybody else is trying to ignore how obvious it is, that I can put things…

On Common Sense

You don’t need an expert to tell you when something offends common sense. In the vernacular of my hometown in rural Mississippi, we all know when something “just ain’t right”. One of the issues we have created for ourselves is the tacit, if not outright, acceptance of things and situations we intuitively know cannot be…

Merry Christmas 2020

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ~ Isaiah 9:6 The eve is upon us and with that I say Merry Christmas to all! Once again,…

Solitude, a Heavy Barrel and a 1500 Yard Range

Went to dinner last night with some good friends – great food, even better company – but I made a statement at dinner, that upon further reflection, explains why I am not joyous in this joyous season.I said that, at no time in my 60 years on this beautiful blue-green orb, have I ever felt…

Modern Tower of Babel

I have often noted how progressives base their beliefs on lies. They always start with their outcome and the build a base of lies to support that outcome – and then fill in the gaps with truth and half-truths. But there should also be a focus on how they lie though the modification of language.…

Feudalistic Neofascism

Webster defines fascism as “a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.” That the American left is not called…

More Progressive Rationalization

Everything President Trump does, has done or ever will do is defined by the progressive left as an “attack on democracy”. That phrase has been as overused almost as much as is the word “racism”. Both that phrase and that word have been rendered meaningless because when such a thing can mean literally anything, then…

There is a Storm Coming

I believe President Trump won the election. Emotionally, I believe it. I simply can’t buy that the differences in public support didn’t matter – Biden campaigning from his basement, and when he did come to the surface, drawing literally tens of people to his scripted 15 minute Teleprompter (which he had trouble reading) events and…

Welcome to the Technocracy

Progressives have tried for years to declare anything they don’t like a “public health crisis”. They have tried to declare gun violence (defined by them as private ownership of firearms) a “public health crisis”.But racism is in vogue now as this season’s best virtue signaling couture, so every progressive official desires to cloak themselves in…

A Simple Question That DEMANDS An Answer

Originally posted on THE ROAD TO CONCORD:
What we are witnessing in the fight over the 2020 U.S. Presidential election is nothing less than the continuation of the coup that started before President Trump was even inaugurated in 2016. I will not cover all the evidence of ‘voting irregularities’ (i.e. vote fraud); I’ve already provided…
